Chicken Noodle Casserole

Chicken Noodle Casserole | an updated version of a classic family dinner

Sometimes life calls for the perfect casserole.

I have officially entered the loaves and fishes stage of parenthood. Feeding my brood of teens {and their friends!} requires a miracle most days. They’re a hungry lot, these precious Littles — who are now 14, 13, 12, and 7.

So, I’ve searched the world over for teen-friendly family meals that meet their needs — delicious, and mine — easy. The result? Le Casserole!

When you need to feed a crowd.

Chicken Noodle Casserole is a perfect dish to feed the masses. Nostalgic and cozy, it tastes like home. We’ve had several opportunities to feed friends and families in our community recently — D*Now, sleep-overs, post game meals, birthdays, etc. I’ve tested a few different one-pot-wonders and Chicken Noodle Casserole debuts at the top of the list.

The recipe is easy to divide — bake it in two separate, smaller dishes and share one with a neighbor. And, the recipe is easy to double to feed a large crowd.

Chicken Noodle Casserole a delicious and easy way to feed a crowd.

Meet Kristin

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm on a mission to love my neighbors. I put an ordinary picnic table in my front yard, painted it turquoise and invited neighbors, friends, and even strangers to hang out and do life together at the Turquoise Table®.

I hope you'll join us!
